CASH-BOX.

991,513, Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Biggy 9, 1911, Application filed August 19, 1910. Serial No. 578,064. To all whom t may concern: i through which the paper web A finds egress.

Be it known that I, MYER KAMnNsrnrN, a citizen of Russia, residing at the city of New York, county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Casin This web passes over a depressed integral section 33 of top plate 31, which thus constitutes a table upon which the web is supported while writing. From this table, the web passes again beneath top plate 31, through a second transverse slit 34, to iinally emerge from the box through a lateral opening 35. Slits 32, 3A are Jformed within the Box, of which the vfollowing' is a specification.

rIhis invention relates to a cash box adaptH ed to contain segregated bills and coin, and provided with novel and efiicient means for making memoranda of purchases, taking down orders or making notes of a similar character.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved cash box showing it closed; Fig. 2 a similar view showing it open; Fig. 3 a longitudinal section through the box and Fig. 4 a cross-sec tion thereof.

A sheet metal box 10, is provided with ledges 11, upon which is removably supported a tray 12. This tray has a curved false bottom 13, and is by transverse partitions 141-, divided into a plurality of coin pockets 15. Intermediate tray 12 and the bottom 1G of box 10 is formed a chamber 17 adapted for the reception oi bills. To box 10 is hinged at 18, a cover 19 having longitudinal i partitions 20, 21, that extend along the front the depressed section 33, so that in this way the web passes in a substantially horizontal direction first over and then again under the cover.

rIop plate 31 extends some distance beyond opening 35, to constitute a paper cutting lip 36, by which the memoranda may be torn ofi" web A. Intermediate slit 34 and opening 35, there is secured beneath top plate 31, a strip 37, which sustains the web while passing toward opening 35. To one side of the depressed cover-section 33, there is hinged to top plate 31, at 3S, a lid 39, which is adapted to be folded over the exposed portion of web A intermediate slits 32, 34C, whenever such exposed portion is to be covered up. It will be seen that memoranda of any suitable length may be made upon web A by writing upon the exposed portion thereof, and feeding the web forward, whenever such exposed portion has been iilled. The box may be closed by a Ipencil 10, slipped through alined tubular keepers 41, Li2 of the box and cover respectively.

I claim:

A device of the character described, comprising a box, a cover hinged thereto and .having a back, a slotted partition arranged within the cover in parallelism with the back and at a distance therefrom to form an intervening compartment, a web-carrying roller journaled in the cover and having a spindle that projects through the slotted partition, and spindle-locking means carried by the partition within the compartand back of the cover respectively. rIhe space within the cover intermediate these partitions', is by a transverse wall 22, divided into a pair of compartments 23, 2li, both of which are adapted to be closed by a common lid 25, hinged to partition 2O and resting with its free end against partition 21. Compartment 23 is intended to contain memoranda slips and similar matter, while within y compartment 24.-, is contained a removable paper roll 26. 'Ihe spindle 2Ga of this roll l engages with one end an aperture 27 of parll tition 20, while its other end 1 is adapted to be received within an upright slot 28 of partition 21. A bolt 29 contained within the space intermediate partition 21 and the back 30 of cover 19, and adapted to be shot 26 to the cover, while upon the retraction of i l across slot 23, serves to removably lock roll ment,

. T T said bolt, spindle 26a may be readily re- MX ER KAMEB STEIN' moved, whenever a new roll is to be inserted. Vttnesses;

The top plate 31 of the cover is above roll FRANK v. BRmsnN, 26, provided with a first transverse slit 32, l
